Deeplinks Blog posts about Security
On Thursday, Apple filed its motion to vacate last week's controversial judicial order requiring it to undermine device security for its iOS operating system. The company's filing explains in compelling and forceful terms not only how the government demands to which it responds would undermine national security and place millions of people at risk, but also why the FBI has chosen an inappropriate process through which to seek a groundbreaking new power that Congress has sensibly never granted.
The FBI's demand that Apple craft new software to bypass iOS's security protections has ignited a worldwide debate about a government's ability to force tech companies to sabotage their own security. One repeated question has been: will other countries, like China, demand the same powers?
EFF, Fight for the Future, and Encryption Supporters Protest Outside the San Francisco Apple Store
Dozens of people gathered at the Apple Store in San Francisco this evening to shout their support for the company's position defending privacy and security in the face of irresponsible government demands.
This week's order by a federal magistrate judge requiring Apple to engineer new security flaws in its iPhone software operating system has prompted widespread and escalating controversy. Legitimate concerns about its implications have driven users around the country to raise their voices in defense of not only their privacy, but also the security of their online platforms threatened by the FBI's demands.
The legal dispute between Apple and the FBI might prove pivotal in the long-running battle to protect users' privacy and right to use uncompromised encryption. The case has captured the public imagination. Of course, EFF supports Apple's efforts to protect its users.
The case is complicated technically, and there is a lot of misinformation and speculation. This post will offer a technical overview, based on information gleaned from the FBI's court motion and Apple's security documentation.

Alternative hip-hop artist K'Naan dropped by The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sept. 13 for an installment of 5 Questions With… and an intimate set featuring "Fatima," "Take A Minute" and "Wavin' Flag" from his major label debut, Troubadour.
K'Naan answered questions spanning a variety of topics including musical influences, mentoring, songwriting, social media, and Academy membership.
"Social networking — in some ways— that's how my fans have found me," said K'Naan. "I [don't] use it to market music or sell records. I use it mostly because I like to be in touch with my fans. I use it so I can have a direct conversation. I like for people to know that I'm human."
More 5 Questions With... video: V.V. Brown, Jakob Dylan, Alejandro Fernández, Florence + The Machine, Rosi Golan, K'Naan, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Janelle Monáe, and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart
These are the most read, shared and discussed articles on GRAMMY.com right now.

Saudi Arabia seems very active these days diplomatically. King Abdullah has met with the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Saudis have more or less put together an informal alliance of other Sunni majority states in the region. And they have even reportedly met with Israelis. What's going on here?
The Saudis are playing a delicate balancing game. On the one hand, they want to contain Iranian influence. There's not much they can do in Iraq right now. But certainly at the peripheries of Iranian influence they're trying to roll it back. On the other hand, they don't want an open confrontation with Iran. They remember the 1980s when Ayatollah Khomeini was castigating them and the Iran-Iraq war was going on. That wasn't a comfortable time for them. The Saudis are playing a pretty nuanced balance-of-power game. Bring the Iranians in, talk to them, try to make deals with them where deals can be made, say perhaps in Lebanon, but at the same time, try to—in a sophisticated way—limit Iranian influence in places where the Iranians seem to be getting stronger.
Is this apart from the U.S. efforts in the Security Council on suspending Iran's nuclear program?
It's parallel. There's nothing the Saudis can do about Iranian nuclear stuff except signal that if the Iranians go nuclear, they'll consider going nuclear too. And they've made those signals. However, the Saudis can work in the region to try to constrain and contain Iranian influence, particularly in Arab contexts, in Lebanon and among Palestinians—not so much in Iraq these days. Their approach to Iran is parallel to the United States' efforts but not exactly the same. The Saudis are more reluctant to confront Iran directly than many people in Washington are.
On Lebanon, it has seemed to be a lot quieter recently. Hezbollah was threatening to bring down the government in Lebanon. Do you think that these talks the Saudis had with the Iranians helped calm it down?
There's clearly something going on in Lebanon. There's now talk across the divide between the government and the opposition forces led by Hezbollah. Whether it's going to actually lead to some kind of solution, that's up in the air because Syria's involved in that too. One of the major issues, of course, is this international tribunal on the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, as well as a number of other Lebanese figures. The Syrians are against that because it will probably implicate some people in the Syrian government. But the Saudis are working very hard to try to get that done because if they can be the power broker in Lebanon, it will reduce Iranian influence in Lebanon—in that Hezbollah would be working through Saudi Arabia to deal with the government—and it will reduce the chances of some kind of blowup in Lebanon that could spread and perhaps draw the Israelis in, as in last summer.
Talking about the Israelis, high on the agenda right now is this Saudi peace plan that was offered after 9/11 by then Crown Prince Abdullah, now King Abdullah, which calls for a return to the pre-1967 [War] borders for peace. The Israelis, under U.S. prodding, have shown some interest in this. This is going to be reapproved at an Arab League meeting?
Yes. It's going to come up again at the Arab League summit, which is next week in Riyadh, but I don't think it's going to be a major thing. I think they're just going to reaffirm their support for the peace plan. You know, the details of that plan are a nonstarter. They're a step backward from where the [Ehud] Barak government and [Yasir] Arafat were in 2000 and early 2001. It's more of an atmospheric thing. I don't think it's going to be a basis for any kind of forward movement on the Arab-Israeli peace process.
The Saudis brokered the meeting between Hamas and Fatah, which has led now to the apparent formation of a new Palestinian government. Is this a big deal for the Saudis?
It is a big deal for the Saudis, but in relation to Iran more than in relation to the peace process. Hamas had been increasingly reliant on Iran, politically and financially. And the Saudis are trying to bring Hamas back into their fold, as it were. So for the Saudis, the bigger goal there was to cut Iran out, and if the cost of that is a Hamas-Fatah deal that the Israelis don't like and the Americans don't like, and doesn't really advance the peace process, well, so be it. The Iranians have had their wings clipped.
And that's the deal on this Palestinian government. One can look at the new Palestinian government and say, "Well, they didn't explicitly accept Israel's right to exist, and thus the West and Israel aren't going to deal with them and shouldn't deal with them," That seems to be the American and Israeli position. One could also look at the personnel in the government: the new foreign minister, Ziyad Abu Amr, and the new finance minister, Salam Fayyad, both of whom are pretty moderate and have worked with Western institutions and Western countries before, and one could say, "Maybe we should engage these guys." It's an open question. One could almost do a "good cop, bad cop" on this and have the Europeans engage and the Americans hold back.
Do you have any information about these reported meetings between Saudis and Israelis?
I don't have any kind of private information on that. I have no doubt they occur.
This is by Prince Bandar, the former ambassador to the United States?
Yes. This wouldn't be the first time that Prince Bandar had met with Israeli officials.
Oh, I see. I didn't realize he had been doing this.
Yes. He actually was pretty open when he was ambassador in Washington about trying to facilitate contacts between the American Jewish community and Saudi officials. It's a short step from there to meet with actual, real live Israelis. His reputation certainly in the region is someone who's willing to have those kinds of meetings. And it fit very much into the fear in Saudi Arabia about Iranian influence and the general American push to try to organize some kind of regional front. It fits into new Saudi activism in Lebanon, because obviously the Israelis are an interested party in what goes on in Lebanon. And the Palestinians too. So it fits in a lot of ways, it just makes a lot of sense. The number of sources who have reported this is pretty substantial.
On overall U.S.-Saudi relations, how would you describe them right now?
I'd say they're pretty good. Certainly the crisis of 9/11 has basically been put in the past. There's cooperation on the security front, and on the war on terrorism issues, [ but] perhaps not so much as people in the United States would like, particularly on financing issues—the private money coming out of Saudi Arabia funding groups, whether in Iraq or al-Qaeda affiliates.
The United States would like to see a more active Saudi role there, but there is cooperation. There's a general agreement on trying to limit Iranian influence. But there are differences of opinion. That's clear on the Palestinian issue, with the Saudis basically being the godfathers of this new Palestinian government. There are differences of opinion on how to deal with Iran down the road. The Saudis fear direct confrontation because they fear they'll be the ones on the front line when the Iranians retaliate, whereas people in the U.S. government would be more likely to contemplate a confrontation with Iran. But relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia aren't too bad right now. OPEC [Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries] hasn't cut its production, so basically the Saudis are saying, "We'll keep production where it is," and they can live with oil prices in the fifty-dollar-per-barrel range rather than up toward seventy dollars [per barrel].
Talk a bit about the Saudi role, or lack of, in Iraq. Do they have any influence on the Sunnis in Iraq?
I'm quite struck by how passive Saudi Arabia has been on the Iraqi front since the war. They were really caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, they didn't like the way things were going. They didn't like the increasing Shiite influence in Iraq. They didn't like the Iranian influence in Iraq. On the other hand, they're not going to actively support people who are killing Americans. Because that would severely damage their relationship with their major security partner, the United States. And also, they have their own problem with these al-Qaeda types at home. They're much more wary than they were when we both were helping to fund the Afghan jihad against the Soviet Union. The Saudi government is much more leery of this Salafi jihadist Sunni opposition in Iraq. I don't doubt at all that there are private sources in Saudi Arabia who are helping to fund the Iraqi insurgency, and of course, Saudis are involved as recruits in the insurgency, fighting against the United States.
But the government has been pretty passive. Now, that doesn't mean they don't have influence with Iraqi personalities. They undoubtedly have contacts with tribal figures, Sunni and Shiite probably, but definitely Sunni. But it doesn't seem like they're exercised the kind of influence that they've exercised in Lebanon or among the Palestinians.
And I guess the latest developments have, in effect, fulfilled your Foreign Affairs article of a few years ago, saying the U.S. policy of promoting democracy in the region wasn't necessarily a good thing?
Well, the administration's largely backed away from the democracy push. You still hear that rhetoric, but I don't see any practical application of pressure to Egypt or to Jordan or to Saudi Arabia. In Egypt and Jordan we've seen reversions from the more open political environment of the Egyptian election in 2005. In Jordan we've seen a steady whittling away of political freedoms. In Saudi Arabia there's been no movement since the municipal elections. And you just don't hear anybody in the administration talking about that anymore.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 11:17 PM GMT on November 08, 2009
Hurricane Ida burst into the Gulf of Mexico as a Category 2 hurricane with 100 mph winds this afternoon, and is poised to deliver a solid blow to the U.S. Gulf Coast between Southeast Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday morning. Radar imagery out of Cancun reveals that Ida has retained its tight inner core this afternoon, with only limited rain bands affecting Mexico and western Cuba. Top winds at Cancun, Mexico today were only 15 mph, despite the fact that Ida passed just 60 miles east of the city. Infrared and visible satellite loops show little change in the intensity of Ida's heavy thunderstorms this afternoon, but the cloud pattern is beginning to become distorted due to strong upper-level winds from the southwest that are creating 20 - 25 knots of wind shear over the hurricane. Water vapor satellite imagery reveals a large area of dry air to the southwest of Ida, but this dry air has not yet intruded into Ida's core. The latest 5:30 pm EST vortex report from the Hurricane Hunters showed that the central pressure had risen 1 mb, to 977 mb, but that the surface winds were still near 100 mph. They noted that the eyewall was open to the east, a sign that Ida's inner core may be in trouble.

The intensity forecast for Ida
The high wind shear of 20 - 25 knots currently affecting Ida is forecast to persist at that level until Monday night. With the storm now beginning to show a distortion of the cloud pattern due to this shear, it would not be a surprise of the shear managed to inject some dry air into Ida's core Monday morning, significantly weakening the storm. Aiding this process will be cooler waters. Early Monday morning, Ida will be crossing over waters of 26°C, which is barely enough to support a hurricane. By Monday night, wind shear is expected to increase to 40 knots, which ordinarily would begin to tear the storm apart. This wind shear is due to an extratropical low pressure system over the western Gulf of Mexico, and this low will begin dumping cold, stable air into Ida Monday night through Tuesday. This will cause Ida to begin transitioning to an extratropical storm, and it is possible that during the transition Ida's winds will die down relatively slowly, despite the wind shear. The intensity forecast has a high amount of uncertainty, and I wouldn't be surprised at a landfall strength anywhere in the range of 45 mph - 80 mph. My personal best guess is a 50 - 60 mph tropical storm at landfall. Regardless of Ida's strength at landfall, the storm will be able to dump 4 - 8 inches of rain along the Gulf Coast, from New Orleans to Panama City. Isolated tornadoes will also be possible, primarily to the right side of Ida's track.
Figure 2. Maximum storm surge (depth of water above ground) for a Category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds moving north-northeast at 15 mph. Ida is expected to be moving at this speed and direction at landfall, but will probably be weaker, so surges will not be this high. Image credit: NOAA SLOSH model run for Mobile Bay, 2008 version. Heights are given relative to the NAVD88 datum.
The storm surge forecast for Ida
Storm surge is the other major concern for Ida. With a strong high pressure system anchored over the U.S. today, the pressure difference between this high and Ida is creating a strong pressure gradient that will drive tides 3 - 5 feet above normal from New Orleans to the Florida Panhandle tonight. As Ida approaches on Monday, an additional rise in water will occur, and a large stretch of coast will be subject to very high water levels for an extended period of time. With battering waves building Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning, a significant coastal erosion event is shaping up. A particular concern is the western end of Alabama's Dauphin Island, where storm surges from four hurricanes over the past fifteen years have caused heavy damage to the low-lying heavily developed island. If Ida makes a direct hit on Mobile Bay as a Category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds, a storm surge of up to six feet is possible there, assuming the storm hits at mean tide. The tidal range along the Gulf Coast varies by about 1.5 feet between low and high tide (Figure 3). High tide is near 2 am EST on Tuesday, but the official NHC forecast currently has the storm hitting between 6 am - 9 am, when the tide will be going out, so the storm may indeed be hitting at about mean tide.
Figure 3. The tide forecast for the Gulf Coast calls for high tide to occur around 2 am EST Tuesday morning. Ida is expected to hit later that morning, while the tide is going out.
I'll have an update Monday morning.

Another K for Majik. 3 down.
Another K for Majik. 3 down.
Toronto announcers:
"AJ Burnett hasn't enjoyed a 10-run lead ever for a long time."
Makes you appreciate what you've got even if you don't like it.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
Reds strand another and its still 11-1.
Hopper goes back for a catch on the warning track. Zahnd out. 1 down.
I was thrilled to see the Reds on FSN here. Then they started "playing".
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Maj grabs a grounder and outruns Lyn to first because Votto failed to cover in time. Overbay to 2nd
Bruce grabs the fly. 4 full 11-1 Jays. Maj has settled down and is pitching okay. Getting a couple more innings from him would be huge
Zaun is a major league a-hole on a personal level... Im amazed he's still in the league. Not a popular teammate
Bruce grounds out 4-3
Maj's 3 innings and 48 pitches are both career highs.
Guys havin' some laughs in the bullpen.
"Don't trust any statistics you did not fake yourself."--Winston Churchill
Yanish hit by the pitch. Smacked in the back with a two seam fastball at 94 mph. That hurt. Bruise city.
The record for most runs allowed in a game by the Reds is 25. This ignominious feat has been accomplished not once, but twice. The last time was in 1901 against the Brooklyn Superbas.
"...You just have a wider lens than one game."
--Former Reds GM Wayne Krivsky, on why he didn't fly Josh Hamilton to Colorado for one game.
"...its money well-spent. Don't screw around with your freedom."
--Roy Tucker, on why you need to lawyer up when you find yourself swimming with sharks.
Hopper lines out to Rios. 3 down.

NASA Blue Marble Data Available From ARSC
On Thursday, October 13, NASA announced a new release of their "Blue Marble" dataset. These new images consist of cloudless scenes from space of the entire world, built from mosaics of satellite imagery.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks was one of only a few locations to distribute these new data. Prof. Matt Nolan of the Water and Environmental Research Center at UAF provided the NASA data, which ARSC made available for download. The data consist of 170GB of NASA imagery, plus custom images for the "EarthSLOT" viewer.
Here are links to download the data:
http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/ (Links and redirects to: ftp://www8.arsc.edu/ or http://www8.arsc.edu/ )
- NASA's Information:
- EarthSLOT viewer:
The files are available in different formats, and some are quite large. The 8km resolution JPG and PNG files will display in virtually any graphics program, such as a Web browser. Larger files might require special-purpose software to view.
Reminder: Purging of $WRKDIR to Resume on Halloween
As previously announced, ARSC will resume daily automated purging of the $WRKDIR file systems, on October 31, 2005. ARSC is lengthening its traditional purge period of 10 days three-fold, to 30 days. Commencing October 31st, the purger will run every day, and each day, files thirty (30) days old or older (based on access time) will be deleted.
We encourage you to carefully consider all your files on $WRKDIR. Presumably, you've been backing all valuable files up to $ARCHIVE all along, but you might double-check that your backups are complete. In addition, we encourage you to intentionally delete files which you know are not valuable.
By cleaning up in advance, you shouldn't have any surprises, and it will make the initial run of the purger a little easier, as it'll have fewer files to search.
What Files are Subject to Purging? Run: "getPurgable"
ARSC users can run the "getPurgable" script to get a listing of files subject to purging. For help, specify the "-h" option:
$ getPurgable -hA default run, like this:
$ getPurgable
shows which files are 30 days old or older in the $WRKDIR file system, and thus subject to deletion on the next daily run of the purger. (If you have accounts on multiple ARSC systems, keep in mind that the script only checks the machine on which it is run.)
For more on ARSC's storage policies and infrastructure, see:
X1: Programming Environment 188.8.131.52 Available
The latest X1 programming environment was installed as PrgEnv.new on Wednesday. This fixes some problems, and may improve optimization for some codes. Users are encouraged to try it and provide feedback.
To access the new environment, use the "module switch" command:
module switch PrgEnv PrgEnv.new
To be sure you're compiling with 184.108.40.206, add the "-V" options to your ftn, cc, or CC command line, and the compiler will print version information.
Your Own Personal SSH Configuration File
The ssh suite of tools allow users to specify many options in a local configuration file. This allows a user to extend the system-wide ssh settings and reduce the number of options used on the command line. When a configuration file called "config" is found in your ~/.ssh directory, the options in that file will be used by ssh and other ssh family tools (such as scp and sftp).
The configuration file can specify default usernames, X11 options, verbosity, machine aliases, and more.
Here's a simple configuration file which enabled X11 forwarding and trusted X11 connections.
pisces 1% cat ~/.ssh/config ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes
These options will be used for every connection and are equivalent to using "ssh -X -Y machine.arsc.edu". However, the config file can specify options on a host by host basis. This can be useful if your username varies by location or if the options you use vary from system to system.
Below is another example which:
- specifies a default username and enables X11 forwarding for hosts in the arsc.edu domain.
- Disables X11 forwarding for all other hosts.
pisces 2% cat ~/.ssh/config Host *.arsc.edu User username ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes Host * ForwardX11 no ForwardX11Trusted no
Options are associated with the preceding "Host" statement. A little investigation shows that, in the case of duplicate successful pattern matches, ssh uses the first found. In the example above the "Host *" matches any host not previously matched.
The Host keyword can also be used to create an alias to a machine when used in conjunction with the "HostName" keyword. The "HostName" keyword specifies the real name (or IP address) of the system. Below is an example which creates an alias "ice" for "iceberg.arsc.edu". E.g.:
pisces 2% cat ~/.ssh/config Host ice User username ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes Hostname iceberg.arsc.edu
With the options above a typical ssh command would go from:
ssh -X -Y email@example.com
ssh ice
There are a number of other ssh config file options. See: "man ssh_config" for details.
SECURITY CONCERNS: Because the "config" file contains login related information, we recommend that you never add "group" or "other" permissions to your ~/.ssh/config file or the ~/.ssh directory.
As outlined in the user security policies, it is a requirement on ARSC systems that "group" and "other" access be denied.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ My program produces output in NetCDF format. Are there any [[ utilities available that will let me visualize my NetCDF data? There are two netcdf viewers that I have tried. These tools are perfect for taking a quick look your data, but may not be appropriate for presentation quality graphics. * ncview is a simple and fast netcdf viewer available on ARSC SGIs, iceberg and iceflyer. For more details see: http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html * PanoPly is a Java based netcdf viewer from NASA which can runs on a number of Operating Systems (including Mac OS X, Windows, and UNIX systems with a java interpreter). In my experience it seems a bit slower than ncview, however it more than makes up for this by having a number of useful features including: a wide variety of projections, color schemes, and export options. For more details see: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/ Q: I love vim's syntax highlighting, but, to save my eyes, I always work with light text on a dark background. Unfortunately, vim uses dark blue for C comments and they practically disappear. (So, of course, I end up burning my eyes out squinting and getting too close!) Is there some way to change vim's colors for syntax highlighting?

text: I hit the Avon Wal-Mart last night. Nothing new in Star Wars, but they did have a lot of the new Thor figures and the Pirates of the Caribbean figures. I hadn't seen the Odin and Loki figures yet, but they had them. The Pirates figures were kind of neat too, but I ended up passing on everything. It all seems kind of blah to me right now.

XUL Desktop Environment? I think it's almost possible, but I wish I knew how to start filling some gaps. These problems are present on at least the X11 (gtk2) backend.
Windows always accept focus. (Gtk2 also has this problem for the most part.) Some windows, such as an on-screen keyboard window, should never accept focus. (Gtk2 allows such behavior.)
Other windows should only accept focus when it's is assigned by keyboard - to allow keyboard access. A simple palette with a grid of buttons, similar to the GIMP's, shouldn't accept focus because it functions as an auxilliary to a document. The user should be able to click a palette button and continue working on the document without having to move focus back to the document - just as if he had clicked on a toolbar in the document window. The gtk2 backend of XUL will not allow this, even if XUL does.
Most windows should not accept focus if the user is merely dragging something from the window to another window, neither should they be raised in such a case. Windows Explorer and perhaps MacOS Finder exhibit this behavior. Nautilus was supposed to, but won't until Gtk2 and Metacity are fixed.
Some windows, such as the GNOME panel, should perhaps exhibit a mix of these behaviors. Should the click fall in the text field of an applet, focus is needed. Otherwise, it should be refused.
- Timestamps are very important for X11, and perhaps nothing else. They are needed to control focus, grabs, and selections. These needs push the need for timestamps down to the execution environment where they can be made available directly or by reference as in the freedesktop.org startup-notification-spec. While the need for timestamps can be almost surely be hidden behind a toolkit's abstractions, it is still an extra burden for building on X11 instead of Windows or MacOS.
The importance of the window manager has been greatly exaggerated. The window manager is needed to control some stacking, to sometimes control focus, and for some global operations like Alt+Tab window switching. "Decorations", as window frame controls are misnamed, would perhaps be better left to the toolkit. (Supposedly there's an implementation problem with that, but I won't believe so until I've seen it. My experiments reveal no such problem.)
The stack control needed is minimal. Some windows should always be below others, and some windows should always be above others. Otherwise, the focused window should not be obscured when a new normal window is mapped.
Focus control, if the frame is part of the toolkit window, is only needed when focus falls to the root window. Except for the next part...
Global operations can't be left to the toolkit; or, at least I haven't thought of a way to do that yet. Consider Alt+Tab. For this to work as most people expect it to, the program that process the keystroke needs to know which windows to include in the chain, the order to include them, their names and icons. There are ways to do this without a window manager, but they're probably too slow and certainly too messy. Since the window manager is the best thing to handle this, it also needs to assign focus once the user selects a window. Until FocusChangeEvent can be extended to include a time and previous window, the best mechanism for this is the WM_TAKE_FOCUS message.
- There's no fine control over whether the first click in an unfocused window does something. Sometimes it should and sometimes it shouldn't, but things are not currently done in a way that a program can reliably determine whether a click was part of a focus transfer or not. This is easily fixed in the same way focus handling is fixed.
The changes I have in mind are really simple if you ignore legacy applications. A migration scheme doesn't seem to hard either, except that I can't convince anyone the destination is worth reaching. So I've been toying with two ideas:
- Write a toolkit and WM to make it happen. I wrote the core of the no-legacy-support WM over a month ago; after all, that's only a few K. Then I started toying with making a toolkit. Ha! The possibility of using Cairo has been very distracting. Most distracting though is looking at other toolkits and thinking, "maybe I could convice these guys to make a few changes instead." Lately, XUL is most appealing.
- Give up.
I consider why I might do this and find no good reason. Every reason I can think of is neurotic. (I'll not list them.) I miss enjoying the study of physics. (I never got far enough to enjoy the study of nature as a physicist.) I miss enjoying study and I think I've been missing that for a long time. I laugh when I think puberty may have been to blame. I laugh a lot for someone so depressed, and it's not just a nervous reaction. This and more often mislead people. I wonder, but mostly doubt, whether I can still read French. Mr. Hugo might have a book for me. Perhaps I'll watch the movie first.

The drug is derived from hydroxylamine, a molecule chemically similar to ammonia.
Singapore: Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified a potential new drug that could help in the treatment of a form of Batten disease, a fatal childhood disorder. The researchers tested the drug in mice with the disease and found that it slowed the loss of coordination seen in the disorder, and extended the animals' life span.
The drug is derived from hydroxylamine, a molecule chemically similar to ammonia. Hyroxylamine is toxic, but a slight change in the molecule's chemical structure results in a non-toxic molecule, called NtBuHA, short for N-(tert-Butyl-Hydroxylamine).
The term Batten disease refers to a group of disorders resulting in deterioration of the nervous system. These disorders occur in one of every 12,500 births, according to the study authors.
"The NIH researchers have found a promising lead for treating a devastating disease that has defied all attempts to treat it," said Dr Constantine A. Stratakis, director of the Division of Intramural Research at the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
The researchers hope NtBuHA will be useful for treating a particular subtype of the disease, infantile Batten disease. With infantile Batten disease, children appear normal at birth, but experience a gradual, but steady, loss of brain tissue. By 11 to 18 months, they experience difficulty with physical coordination and begin to lose their vision. By age four, they go blind and have no apparent brain activity. They may live in a vegetative state for several more years before dying.

NUTRITION We all want to include our dogs in our holiday celebrations, but hopefully, you're aware that sharing table scraps with your dog isn't always the best idea.
HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so it's time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.

The "stand" posts reminded me of another "adjustment" in the OB classes. The hunting/field command for that expectation is actually "whoa". In one of my regular OB training routines all my retrievers are expected to return to heel from a distance doing "here" spaced with alternating "sit", "whoa", "down" commands and/or remote drops. It is an excellent responsiveness drill.
As was mentioned "whoa" is very useful at the vets (standing examinations & taking temperatures) and for grooming. I know "whoa" makes "Dremeling" my dogs' hind paws easier and when doing the mandatory bitch checks at HRC hunt tests, too.
And "whoa" is a given if you are working with pointing Labs.
One thing I carefully avoided at the classes was mentioning anything about a heeling stick or e-collar.

Public Invited to Comment on Minnesota's Largest Financial Aid Program
Sandy Connolly
Minnesota Office of Higher Education
(651) 259-3902
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education will hold a public forum to hear input on the Minnesota State Grant program, a financial aid program providing need-based grants to more than 70,000 Minnesota college students each year. The agency invites participants to share their perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of the program and provide suggestions for opportunities to improve the program to meet the changing needs of Minnesota students.
The forum will be held Friday, October 14, 1 to 4 p.m., at Metropolitan State University, 700 East Seventh Street, St. Paul, in the Ecolab Room of the Metropolitan State University Library on the north side of Seventh Street.
Participants who wish to speak at the meeting are asked to register in advance by contacting Ginny Dodds. Written testimony is welcome from those unable to attend the forum.
Minnesota State Grant Facts
- The State Grant program is a need-based grant program for Minnesota residents attending Minnesota institutions;
- The program awards approximately $130 million to students annually;
- 83 percent of state grant recipients report a family income of $50,000 or less;
- The average State Grant award is $1,656; however on average, qualifying students receive a combined federal Pell Grant and State Grant award of about $3,246 annually;
- State Grant awards are determined based upon the total cost of attendance and a student's ability to pay. Grants are pro-rated for part-time students;
- Students apply for the State Grant by completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (or FAFSA) available at schools, libraries and at fafsa.ed.gov;
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education is a state agency providing students with financial aid programs and information to help them gain access to postsecondary education. In addition to managing the Minnesota State Grant program, the agency oversees tuition reciprocity programs, a student loan program, Minnesota's 529 college savings program, institutional licensing and registration and an early awareness initiative for youth.

This airs Sunday Aug. 19th 9PM Central. I had seen some the scenes on Comedycentral.com. Carrie Fisher was there and there was a hilarious conversation between Bill and Leonard over the phone. This is going to be great!!!!
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!
Sadly I'm going to miss this one. Due to a scheduling snafu on my part I'll be busy sorting socks and organizing my cd/dvd collection while the show is on. I just wish I could rearrange a time for these important tasks so I could watch this.
I'll be sure to watch it, Betty White was hilarious in that one clip where she said "We all know Shatner's nuts...but George has ****** them!" and then they cut to George Takei laughing.
Holy carp!! I'm sure someone will be along shortly to edit that post, but I'm laughing my butt off.
I didn't bother with the Pamela Anderson roast (I despise her, and the whole premise seemed pointless), but I'll have to check this one out. Thankfully I'll have the east coast feed for Deadwood.) Shatner rules. I find it funny that the guy recognizes he's something of a joke who starred in one extremely popular TV series, and runs with it. Maybe next year, Comedy Central will roast David Hasselhoff.
That's my jacket!
I... heard that it... will run... long... due to... all... the...
... pauses... the roasters...
... make.
Possible lame jokes:
"He couldn't be here tonight, PriceLine lost his reservation."
"He couldn't be here tonight, he threw out his back rolling over his limo's hood."
"He couldn't be here tonight, an unseen creature killed him on his flight here."
"Star Trek? I thought it was Start Wreck."
"How could a cop be a hooker?"
Yes. Quite... lame.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
"Denny Crane." - Denny Crane
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I love Patton Oswalt in that one commercial where he whips out a paper bag and asks Shatner to act his way out of it. I think Shatner is the best, he's got some real acting chops but often falls back on his cheese and that's fun too, he's got this noble ideal of what his characters should be and he sorta lives to it. Plus he really made Captain Kirk a larger-than-life character that nobody else could ever duplicate. So it should be a real hootenanny to watch him get chewed up in this roast. I hope the uncensored version is going to air the Saturday night afterwards, that'll be awesome.
BTW, anybody seen the newest commercial for it capitalizing on Andy Dick's publicized lunacy at the roast? Very smart of Comedy Central!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
OH MY GAWD!!!! The roast was awesome!!!! Brutal, disgusting, but hilarious!! As they all are. It should've been the roast of George Tah-Kay. They ripped him from stem to stern. But Takei's set was really so over the top you couldn't help but laugh....and cringe at the same time.
The few shots in the audience at the time when everyone was coveing their faces while cringing was priceless. But the best part was watching the segments of the Shatman doing his singing. I about fell on the floor when it showed him doing something on that sow with that other guy singing "keep it g**, keep it g**, keep it g**, keep it g**, keep it g**, keep it g**!!!! I was suprised that there wasn't more rips on him in reference to the geek empire he created. But the ones said were great.
I can't wait for the uncut release on DVD!!
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!
I was the slightest bit disappointed. I'll be the first to admit that the original Star Trek with all it's cheesy effects, bad acting, and melodramatic stories was a huge part of my life and that William Shatner was a large part of that, large enough that I were I to meet him or ever speak at an event in his honor I would sound like I was completely sucking up . . . but it's William Freaking Shatner! Jokes should come unbidden and be remorseless and relentless. His entire career has been one load of roast fodder after another.
I almost found myself agreeing with the Shat when he got up and said how many of them just weren't funny. I almost wish Jimmy Doohan were still alive. That roast would have been elevated to a whole new level if he got up there drunk as hell and just let Shatner have it. Inappropriate to the spirit of it, yes, but belly laugh inducing.
There were great parts. The captain's chair was perfect. It was a great example of giving him hell while reminding us all he was the man in charge of a cultural phenomenon. Of all parts of it I laughed the hardest at Nichel Nichols when she ended the sentence that began with, "Bill, let's make history again . . ." I also got a pretty good laugh when Shatner told Takei what he could not do but turned and thanked Nichols. The other really funny line I thought was the line about Shatner coming [into the room] on a horse.
Ha, ha, it's Yiddish, the past tense of ****ner. Hee, hee.
I'm kind of surprised actors from other Star Treks didn't get up to speak. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner (who was in the audience) could have written speeches that would have been really funny.
Andy Dick should have been shot the moment he looked like he was going to lick a second person. Sometimes he can be outrageously funny but the other 99.99% of the time, he really does need to be shot.
Member 104 of the SWC forums . . . but it's good to be back.
Good traders: DarkJedi5, jediguy, Jedi_Master_Guyute, jedimastergeorge06
I just watched about the first 30 minutes. I did like the opening montage of clips. The first roaster (I cannot recall his name) seemed to focus more on the guests than Shat himself; BTW, his folded piece of notebook paper was a classy, organized touch (yeah, I know, it was just a roast after all). From what I saw, it was okay. I'll catch the rare re-runs that'll follow.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

In case you hadnt noticed, every car with an IC engine has a battery too, so we are already producing those hidden pollutions and toxins, and we seem to be dealing with them. And, IC engines are not made in a vacuum. There are energy costs to make those motors as well.
If the last cold snap wasn't enough to make anyone buying an electric car wary, especially if they lived anywhere north of the equator, then I say...HAVE AT IT, YOU IMBECILES.
What has yet to be even 'thought about' by the greenies is along the lines of the drop in smokers and the lost tax revenue. For some time now, the tobacco nazis have been putting a stop to all forms of tobacco use, and the states no longer reap all that $$$$ from the 'filthy' smokers.
Just think of the taxes various states will lose when there are no more 'gas' stations to gouge the drivers driving those unclean filthy gasaholic mosheens. Has anyone considered the ramifications of the gazillions of dollars raised with each gallon pumped by those nasty guzzlers?
I can hear the lefties now...whining and moaning about how unfair big oil was, as they took their product and ran, and didn't consider how badly it would affect all the environmental whackos and their ilk.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
I thought you were against taxation and big government. Now you are defending taxation and worried about not collecting enough taxes?
Blackstone, please don't talk down to me ("In case you hadnt noticed, every car with an IC engine has a battery too").
I started my career with Pontiac Motors in 1982 and I've been in the automotive field ever since. I have a masters in mechanical engineering and I'm a professional engineer so I know a little bit about which I speak.
You say you work for GM so of course you love the Volt! I haven't met a GM employee yet who doesn't. The hype in Detroit was incredible over the Volt. All I can say is that if the public was clamoring for it (other than those who have to have it first for bragging rights) the government wouldn't have to use my tax dollars to subsidize it.
I have a Chevy Impala that can use E85 and I will never put it in my car. I have a real problem with an industry that uses two gallons of fuel to get one gallon of corn oil to the pump. Corn is for eating and making bourbon, NOT burning up in an IC engine when there's perfectly good crude to be refined.
I can hardly wait for the "imbecile" in a volt to become stranded like the family that spent 3 days in their gas burning vehicle. They survived because they judiciously ran the heater in spurts, starting and stopping the engine.
How long would you last in your "VOLT" Mr Blackstone?
Face it, your 'pride and joy' is just a motor vehicle tinker toy, designed primarily for the nearby worker to jog back and forth in. It's another version of the pregnant rollar skate we've seen for years, only this time it's dangerous because the GREENIES are making it happen at the expense of what this nation really needs.
As to your last "imbecillic" comment, you have again missed the point...that being you environmental jerks push for all this feel good crap, assuring your fellow airheads that what you are accomplishing is all good and necessary. But when they find out, as that Obama teen mama did, when Obama didn't pay for her gasoline, or her baby's clothing, and she was heart broken.
My concern about the loss of taxation revenue should you environmentalists take over the country, is you don't even think about it. You are too damned ignorant to face reality and recognize the fallout and disasters that occur because of your do-gooder policies. And when the crap hits the fan, do you expect to pick up the mess? Hell no, you are off promoting the next environmental joke to prop up your egos.
Every time your crowd dreams up some new era save-the-nation-idea, we taxpayers can expect to drop our drawers and bend over. When the gas taxes fall below what states can live with, do they look to the environmental whackos to compensate for the difference? Nope. It's time to pass another hike in real estate taxes, or sales taxes, so we make sure those union pension funds are paid, and those pie-in-the-sky promises are kept.
When you see the federal unionists marching because many of their pensions and jobs are being cut, think they are going after the legislatures that put a kybosh on smoking in their state, causing that revenue source to drop by several millions. Hellsbells, many of those marchers are smoking. Do they lobby their representative to stop with the new laws? Nope, they just go across state lines and buy cartons by the case because that state hasn't raised their taxes $2 bucks a pack ...yet.
As I've stated many times, it always depends on who's ox is being gored.
When the gas tax revenues are way down, will the Volt drivers pony up extra, so the roads can be cleared of snow???...or repaired by the underpaid union fed worker, who's now so overworked because all his buddies have been layed off due to budget constraints?
Actions have consequences, Mr. Blackstone. The environmental movement has pretty much wiped out the timber industry in this nation. It's working hard on the auto industry and mining industry, and oil industry.
Your sacrificial lamb of an electric car is a joke, and we all know it. It ranks right up there with windmill electricity, and solar panels. If it was all so importantly wonderful, why doesn't it become the way of life the liberals are craving? And please don't annoy me with that teacher's union tripe of needing more money. Doesn't matter how much is thrown down that empty hole, it will never be enough.
In fact it's time to see how much less this socialistic experiment can do without. After all, the other nations attempting this experiment are having to go through it also, and they are finding out the PC crowd has led them down the path to ruin. Time for a huge change. Hope you didn't buy into the last one.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
I never said I loved the Volt. I think it is a very interesting vehicle, and a first step in the right direction to reducing dependence on oil (forgien and domestic). However, I do not plan to buy one. It doesnt fit my lifestyle. But, like I said, if they can build similar technology into a full-size SUV or full-size pickup, Ill be in line to get one.
Is the government subsidizing electric vehicles with your tax dollars, or giving buyers a tax credit? There is a difference.

Serves 8 to 10
The flower pattern that's revealed once this cake is inverted will be defined best by an apple that holds its shape. A sweet variety will complement the nutty brown butter in which the apples are cooked. Serve the cake on its own or with vanilla ice cream.
In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice.
In a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet, cook the butter over medium heat until it has a nutty fragrance and there are brown bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 4 minutes. Immediately add the apples and salt and toss gently with a heatproof spatula until well coated. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, tossing once. Toss again, cover, and cook, tossing every 2 to 3 minutes, until the apples are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Uncover and cook, stirring gently, until some of the apples begin to brown and any liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
Butter a 9x2-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment, and butter the parchment. Have ready a pastry brush and a small bowl of water.
Put the sugar, cinnamon, and 1/3 cup water in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and, using the pastry brush dipped in the water, wash any sugar crystals from the side of the pan. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the caramel begins to color; then swirl the pan until the caramel turns an even, deep amber, about 3 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Let cool.
Starting in the center of the pan, arrange the cooled apple slices on the caramel in slightly overlapping, tightly packed concentric circles. Set aside.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and beater with a rubber spatula. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar, the reserved lemon zest, and vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and beater.
With the mixer on medium speed, slowly sprinkle in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, taking 20 to 30 seconds to add it. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until pale and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping once to scrape the bowl and beater.
Add the egg and beat on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the yolks and beat until incorporated, 1 minute. (It's OK if the batter looks curdled.)
With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients in three additions and the milk in two additions; scrape the bowl and beater as necessary and mix each addition just until smooth.
Using the rubber spatula, spread the batter evenly over the apples. Tap the pan down on the counter once or twice to settle the batter. Bake until the cake springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a rack and run a small, sharp knife around the edge to release it from the pan. Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes.
Holding the pan between your palms, rotate it briskly back and forth on the countertop to release the apples from the bottom. Invert the cake onto a cake plate and slowly remove the pan and the parchment. If any apples have shifted, reposition them. Let the cake cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
The cake can be baked up to a 1 day ahead and kept covered at room temperature.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Just got word that I have to cover a meeting in Newport starting Sunday of this weekend. I'm going to come up a day early to hit SB on Saturday. Anyone going to be around?
Craig.....I didn't see any boats surf side on SB the last 2 times I went. No fish visible either day as well although one guy I hooked up with had one good day surf side this year (last week).
It seems to me that the season is later this year....i.e. blue fish haven't showed yet in Chatham...they are usually there 5/15 to 5/20 ish.....stripers are presently only coming on the flats for brief moments (with the exception of what the Simms clan saw one day last week)....my last 2 trips had stripers on the flats for about 2 hrs in the a.m.....nothing in the afternoon.
I'm no expert given that I have only 5 yrs under my belt.......but my guess is that the season is starting late due to cold water/frequent days with north winds and rain storms and low day/night time temps in comparison to seasonal averages. 3 weeks ago I saw massive #'s of sandeels....last 2 times, not a one.
I really don't think that there has been a consistent weather pattern as of yet that sets the wheels in motion with some consistency....of course....that day could be today. Sure is fun checking though 3 to 4 days of consistent S-SW winds with temps in the upper 60's/70's should start what we are all hoping for.
chatham floatila?
I was wondering if any of you guys that are fishing the surf side of South Beach have been seeing boat activity out off shore. Last year we did not get a lot of action out there until late in the season. I am wondering if things are different this year.
Has anybody heard about any action out at Bears Shoals or the Rip out on the point of South Monomoy?
|Looks like you guys are having loads of fun in the surf. I am jelous.
I was fishing with Dennis Kelly down by the Southway. I was "downstream" of Dennis in an area where the schools were coming up-current onto the flat. At one point, in the midst of the hordes of schoolies, I saw four big fish coming. I cast to them, made a couple of strips, and then hooked up!
I leaned back hard on what I thought was one of the big boys. I almost pulled the lips off an unlucky schoolie. Lucky I didn't fall in....
I yelled to Dennis to alert him to the approaching keepers. He replied that he had them in sight. He casted and smiled; I knew he had the fly right where he wanted it. Strip, strip... "Got him!" he yelled, leaning back on the rod just like I did. Another unlucky schoolie nearly got airborne. And so it went, through the outgoing, low and incoming tide.
Thank goodness they weren't all big fish. I would have had to call home to quit my job and put my house up for sale!
Good fishing,
Glad to hear that they are coming my way!
This is the point in the season when I am jealous. A few twinks in NH for me yesterday while Chatham is loaded with bass.
I am dedicated to learning my home waters but the lure of Chatham is calling me. I miss the good ole' days out on the Mecca and such.
Go get em' while the action is hot!
|Now I'm really itching to get out to SB! I've fished Morris island the past two weekends because of the conditions not being sight fishing friendly. I did fish the stage harbor inlet Saturday and caught two fish in the 25-30" range, along with 20 or so schoolies. I spotted two cows in the 40" range (unfourtunately the line was out, damned blind casting mode...)..
I would have to agree with the general consensus about Thursday. I have never seen that many fish on the flats and it was at times ridiculous. Out of the thousands and thousands I only saw 4 that were clearly legal fish but it sounds like the Simms located some better size. The surf was good on Thursday with slightly larger fish in the mid 20 inch-to-legal class and excellent visibility.
Saturday in comparison was very slow and I still only saw a few larger fish mixed in with the schoolie pods. It was still a far cry from the salad days of all-legal fish moving through at a regular clip. Lots of anglers standing too deep had many of the schools spooked and swimming at full speed by the time they crossed my position.
Still no bluefish
I did more paddling Sunday than fishing but it was interesting to see all the changes. The structure between Hardings and West common flats had changed quite a bit. The high points from last year are somewhat flattened out but the channels are still there so plenty of interesting structure to be explored by the careful wading angler. I had intended paddling into the crib via the Nortern arm of the West side channel but ran into solid sand about 1/2 mile from the clam flat. The bottom of the old channel is jet black and occupied by countless horseshoe crabs.
It was a long paddle South to get into the crib system but once there, the main Channel looks to be still well defined. The South branch that hugs the S Monomy shoreline looked inviting but the wind had picked up from the East and I wanted to check out the inside. Paddling into the wind and the sun resulted in some encounters with nice fish but by the time I put the paddle down and picked up the rod the shot was compromised. I was wishing I had a spin rod on board - maybe next time
I landed on the shoal that used to be the Seal's haul-out spot. Its now a very nice flat (if you have floatation) with various shallow scoop/ ledge structures. I had a couple of good shots here and managed to pull the fly from the mouth of good fish twice
I didn't go all the way South since there were so many boats already there but will definitely be headed back that way.
On the final paddle back up to the Tub, the wind dropped completely and the water was like glass. I spotted a few finning fish in the weeds and wished I'd brought my 5 weight. Long leader and small flies did the trick. Casting to one fish, the entire area erupted as a hundred plus bass all decided they didn't like the intrusion.
Finished up the day with nice fat 25 incher with good shoulders and covered in lice
p.s. Ron, tell Amy I like Purple too over rootbeer/olive/yellow/white.
Juro.......thanks for being politically correct and adding "she" to the "he"
Given her success...contrary to popular opinion....the pink hat appears to serve as a beacon for the fish ...not to mention sand eels tied purple over pale green over white....go figure???? Artistic and effective.
Great day, great tide - but my guess is that the refuge was in between major waves of migrating fish and the residents are far from settled in. I did not find them where expected although my guest on the refuge did get some classic shots at pods of big fish and singles and landed three nudging the legal mark and had some real cows on the fly that did not eat. He was an athletic / hiker type so we did the circuit around SB tip. The outside was a dud.
The Simms clan quotes George Ryan as saying that a couple of days prior (Thursday) had the most fish on the flats in all his years of guiding on Monomoy; and Sean Ransom had a special guest on the outside beaches with ridiculous numbers as well. Paul Cheever, the Simms, Fishhawk were all there and saw many thousands of fish. Yet it was slow on the weekend as that phase of the migratory population moved on to terrorize the north shore or Maine. Mike Doogue - they are coming!
I've also experienced days where the fish were pulled into a gathering by bait and thus stayed off the flats, and that's also a distinct possibility based on that 2 hour long sand eel / whirling tern display on the middle shoal. There was a tremendous amount of bait out on that isolated shoal, but since that new cut behind the old J bouy bar got serious we could not explore that fracas on the flood although Quentin was real close before crossing back to the mainland just in time. On the refuge an infusion of bait will draw a huge percentage of the bass to it, so much so that they seem missing from adjacent areas.
But I stand firm on the migratory phase lapse opinion, with 40 pound fish coming through the canal and the fishing hot in Jersey we still have a long way to go before the migration is over.
The wind shifted north / northeast for the day but is back on the SW track again. I hope it brings the summer fish up.
Outside structure on south beach is boring at best. The bar everyone thought was gone is still there about 1.5 miles south of the crossing, and the section north of the crossing is more interesting that south.
Nauset on the other hand is as good as I have seen it. The sand structure I was amazed by a week ago is largely gone, but it might be back tomorrow - this is probably one of the most unstable shoals on the entire east coast. However I still maintain the opinion that in the dog days it will be a sand eel mecca.
South beach flats are quite interesting with the biggest feature being the separation of the old J bouy bar from the mainland c/o a significant cut to the main channel adjoining a deepened backwater in a reverse L shape.
The problem this introduces is isolation from the mainland for waders. I suspect one could still hang out on the middle shoal through the whole flood but the bad news is he/she would HAVE to as there is no crossing until the drop. This could also be a problem in the event of an unusually high tide so not advisable without some form of flotation.
I was pleased to see that the amount of flow on the incoming was not trivial, nothing like two years ago but still enough to get any fish in the area excited. There was a lot of flood pushing against those first few shoals and that old boater's beach hole has grown huge.
The vegetation seems to have increased overall as the flow diminishes, although it's still too early to tell. I suspect that the dog days will be very doggy like last year.
The blue hole up near the K-L stretch seems to have grown into a very large basin behind the flat. I will bet that fish will play in that on peak flood before the temps get too warm for good oxygenation and that could be a lot of fun.
Schoolies everywhere on the dropoff as usual. Oh yeah and that large mass of fish out on the moorings in the AM was big pogies. You know what that means.
Another Great Day On SB
Just feel fortunate to be able to enjoy this TOTAL environment! Ventured to the land of SB with Carol (wife) who enjoyed the sand, sun and shells on the beach....Amy (daughter) who saw and hooked up with numerous cooperative fish, Garry (a good friend).
Met up and fished with the classy Simms clan...always a true pleasure! Saw Juro taking his client on a mini death march :-)....saw Adrian arrive on the shores in his yak which was equiped with everything except a rocket launcher (at least I didn't see it).
Many thanks to the Simms, Adrian, Keith and Juro for the congrats given to Amy re her engagement....that really made her feel great ("like family")...she said.
As I said...a TOTAL great experience!
